: dealing with d. s. s.
The issue is not fault, but neglect. Under any circumstances, it has always been my position that no person targeted should speak to DSS without an attorney. I have never found an exception.

Re: dealing with d. s. s. as amother
You should get an attorney and begin building your case. You are defendoing against possible neglect as well as affirmative abuse. The allegations are serious, and the mother is viewed as either abusing the child, or neglecting by failing to stop someone else's abuse.
I have been involved in cases where mother has had difficulty admitting that father or boyfriend is an abuser, or that she herself has an issue. This is a time for careful personal examination as well as excellent legal representation.
